7 months post op bbl by Dr. Sergio Alvarez @ Spectrum
$5,500
I am on my 7th month post op from a BBL/Liposuction performed by Dr. Sergio Alvarez @ Spectrum. I fear I have 2 necrosis hard lumps on my right lower bottom. I have massaged the area to see if it would soften but to no avail. I really do not want a revision performed but I feel it would be the only solution to remove the necrosis lumps that at tImes feel tender and very uncomfortable . Also, I had Liposuction on both arms by Dr. S. Alvarez but have yet to see a difference. Has anyone experienced any symptoms/conditions of what I'm currently going through? I live in Tampa and if I can find a nearby qualified surgeon to perform the revision I would truly be appreciative.

2 months op from my BBL with Dr. Alvarez
OK so I made it to my 2nd month. I am seeing a change in the sculpting performed and only 60% of the BBL has remained. I pray that it stays. It would be a disappointment if I lose it all. Now, I am 90% less swollen.. I am able to sleep on my back. There are some areas that are a bit tender. I am concerned with how the sculpting done is taking a different shape. My right side looks different than my left. Near my belly button I have a small lump. When touched or massaged you can feel as if a small marble was placed inside of me. I had lipo done on my arms and they do look a bit weird. I still feel a bit sore on my arms. Hopefully the swelling / shape will be more profound by the 6th month. I am hoping to see a better sculpting by the 6th month. One of my but cheeks has a small little dent making it look a bit awkward. Again, I'm not sure how to feel about my new look. I do say it is 45% percent better than before the surgery.

My 6 weeks post open is here!!!
I made it! I have to admit my buttocks, back, waist and hips are still a bit sore. I still feel discomfort, especially when I am laying down or sitting. However, I try to be positive by telling myself every week I will get better and better just have faith and be patient. My body is slowly shapping itself after the surgery not as I wished but it is OK. There are areas of my body that are still lumpy, hard and uneven. I am now wearing my garments for 12 hours daily and will continue doing so for the next 2 months. I do self massages twice a day to better those areas. I still take my Arnica pills for soreness. I swear positive things on the Arnica pills and lotion if you want to recover swiftly. In other posts I've read many women are experiencing the same after their surgery so I guess its a matter of being patient for my end results. Will continue to post with pics. Have a great week.

How many professional Lymphatic massages have you had?
By reading other post and having 2 consults for the same procedure I have heard the hardness and lumps are due to fluid sitting and not being drained.

Hello Browneyeslatina.
I've been following your journey, I know you don't get too many feedback a or comments, but please know I really appreciate all the effort you put into updating us.
I'm scheduled with Alvarez for 20th September. Been scheduled for a couple of months now, and it has been hard to find Alvarez dolls who have been open and honest with their journey. But you've carried us along every step of the way and I greatly appreciate it.
You've renewed hope in my cos my spirit was really down, I was starting to second guess myself. But I can see you're doing fine and I'm confident once again. Thank you so much
God bless
